Cook Islands Proof Set 1974

This Sterling Silver Proof £2 coin was issued in 2008/2010 for the handover of the Olympics from Beijing to London. It has the Olympic flag being transferred from one hand to the other and the two different dates. It was issued by the Royal Mint and it is one issue that many collectors are missing as the edition limit was quite low and many people who collect Olympic memorabilia snapped them up and they went abroad. Each Sterling Silver Proof comes in a protective capsule as issued.

In 1998 the Royal Mint honoured Prince Charles’s 50th birthday with a rather handsome £5 piece. It has Prince Charles on one side and his Mother – Elizabeth II on the other side. For some reason this coin has a very low mintage, perhaps it was the economy at the time. But for whatever reason the mintage was low and it is not easy to get. You have the dates 1948-1998 with the Prince of Wales and his Mother. They are struck in cupro-nickel and the face value is £5.00. Get them while you can, a coin missing from many collections of £5 pieces, don’t let your collection be incomplete.

This 37mm medal in brass was struck to commemorate the Royal Borough of Greenwich being selected as the host for the 2012 Olympic Games. These medals were given to school children in the borough as a lasting memory of the event. It has the arms of the Royal Borough of Greenwich on one side and the Olympic colours on the other side in a flame pattern. They come in a capsule in a nice presentation folder. These are being offered else where online for some ridiculous prices but we think your will like our price! Only a limited number are available...
